Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?

"Unemployment in NH right now is roughly at 4% which is below the national average of 6%. Pre-pandemic, employers were struggling to find available people to fill skilled and unskilled labor positions. Currently, employers continue to struggle to find workers to fill those same positions. For me, there are available jobs in NH that offers a good starting wage for people seeking work. The problem is finding people to do those jobs. It's not a wage question; it's a workforce question. New Hampshire needs to revisit workforce strategies and determine how to attract skilled and unskilled workers to our communities to fill the job vacancies that exist."
